Whether you're throwing a Kentucky Derby party or you just love the flavors in a traditional Mint Julep, you're going to love these Mint Julep Brownies. You don't have to be a horseracing fan to know that these homemade brownies are sure to be a winner.

This recipe turned out just awful. I followed the recipe to the letter. They came out only about 1/4 inch thick and had little taste except for a hint of peppermint. Just before the time was out to take them out of the over, the whole top was full of a foaming buttery liquid. After they were out for a while the liquid disappeared, but the texture and taste was awful. I have reviewed and reviewed the ingredients and can't find what went wrong.

We're sorry to hear these brownies didn't work out for you. We just re-tested the recipe in the Test Kitchen and ours turned out delicious, with a lot of peppermint flavor. We're not sure what could have gone wrong with yours if you followed the recipe as written, but there are two possible reasons we could think of that may have affected your brownies: 1) Make sure you use stick butter. Butter that comes in a tub usually has a lot of oils/liquid and doesn't have the same results; 2) Make sure your peppermint extract has not expired. Extracts lose their flavor as they get older. We hope this helps, and we hope you'll give these another try!

Thank you for going through the trouble of making this recipe again. I did use stick butter but I used Splenda instead of sugar. I have been using that in a lot of recipes to cut down on the sugar use, due to my husband's health. I dont know if that was the problem. I have used Splenda as I stated and have never had an adverse effect on any recipe, but, could that have been the problem with the mint julep brownies?
